ANNOUNCEMENT! #GATHERING2018

We are proud to announce that we have raised a €2000 for children of MPO ‘De Bevertjes’, thanks to your help and presence on the Gathering of the Knights in June 2018. Almost 400 knights, bikers, family and friends helped us raise this money for the benefit of these little children. The school accepted the cheque with a big smile and they want to to thank each one of you.

So thank you all for helping us raising this amazing amount of money!

See you next year!

THANKS YOU #GATHERING2018

Dear brothers and sisters,

To our annual June tradition, we organized our motorcycle ride once again for the benefit of a good cause. Every year we choose a different goal, to which the full proceeds of the motorcycle meeting will go. This year we choose ‘De Bevertjes’, a school nearby our clubhouse, where toddlers and children with moderate to severe motor and/or mental retardation learn to learn. The school will use the budget for expanding their ‘snoezel’ room. ‘Snoezelen’ is a combination of cuddling, wellness and feathering. It is a process of discovery and stimulation, but also of relaxing, unwinding and enjoying. It stimulates different senses and increases the well-being of people with disabilities.

We enjoy every year again to welcome motorcycles and their drivers from all over Europe. This year we had the chance to meet our brothers and sisters from Belgium, England, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, Germany and even a few members from Mexico! We welcomed almost 400 drivers during the weekend and over 180 people came for the barbecue on Saturday! What a succes! The weather was good as well was the food and everyone could use a drink after a long hot drive. Still, we can not say yet how much we raised but soon there will be an announcement. Please, look for it on our Facebook and website.

We want to thank everyone who came to the Gathering this year for your help, your hands and your money. But most of all: thank you for your smile and your positivity. We look forward to meet you all again next year.

Every year we have a habit to knight our newest members and praise them with a fitting nickname. There are no new members to welcome this year, but some existing members were yet to honor. We welcome in our midst:

Johan Luyts as ‘Nightwatch’

Dirk Van den Steen as ‘Havana’

Peter Willekens as ‘Peter pan’

Astrid Fauché as ‘Escargot’

John Provyn as ‘Iso be good’

Laurien De Jaegher as ‘Baking nurse’

Feel free to ask for the lovely stories that comes with those nicknames. Photo’s of the ceremony can be found here.

Beside the knighting, we chose Chuck to be our Treasurer, Buba to be our President and Groggy to be our Quartermaster once again. A new sprout this year: Baking Nurse will take over the role of webmaster. We thank Shrek for his amazing job in the past years.

WISHES FROM RKBII

LOSS OF A KNIGHT’S BELOVED WIFE

With deep grief we announce you the loss of one of our members’ beloved wife, Ann Van Neste. Only 51 years old, she was ripped away from this life. She was loved by all of us, in particular Red Knights Johan Van den Steen (BBQ) as her husband, Dirk Van den Steen as her brother in law and Julie Van den Steen (Julietje) as her niece.
